Abstract A 30-month-old male patient with transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA/IVS) is presented. Arterial switch operation (ASO) was performed in the light of echocardiographic and angiographic findings. The patient remained under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation su...

ECMO (ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is still a “rescue” therapy for both hemodynamic and respiratory support. Its use is relatively low and is restricted to specialized centers. The WHO declared as pandemic the severe acute respiratory syndrome due to coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing fatal p...
La membrana de oxigenación extracorpórea arteriovenosa se utiliza cuando ocurre falla hemodinámica y respiratoria refractaria al tratamiento convencional; brinda soporte hemodinamico transitorio, oxigenacion y remocion de CO2, y permite reposo pulmonar. Asimismo ofrece la posibilidad de realizar venti...
RESUMO Objetivo: A evidência de melhora da sobrevivência com uso de oxigenação por membrana extracorpórea na síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo ainda permanece incerta. Métodos: Esta revisão sistemática e metanálise foi registrada na base de dados PROSPERO com o número CRD-420180986...
RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas assistidas pela Viatura Médica de Emergência e Reanimação em paragem cardiorrespiratória e refletir se tinham critérios para utilizar a oxigenação por membrana extracorpórea. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, de coorte, descritivo ...
